Description

FIVE PRIME ELEVATED PLOTS WITH SPECTACULAR VIEWS

PLOT 2 - SOLD

PLOT 5 - SOLD

Occupying prime, elevated positions, situated above the village of Bunessan on the Ross of Mull, the subjects of sale form five building plots, each benefiting from Planning Permission in Principle, for the erection of a detached dwellinghouse, with private driveways. Enjoying a truly special, semi-rural, location with spectacular, uninterrupted sea views towards the Burg and the surrounding countryside, the plots offer an exciting opportunity to purchase land in a very desirable area. The entrance road to the plots is already in place, whilst all mains services are nearby the site. Plot 1 extends to around 0.17 acres, Plot 2, Plot 3 and Plot 4 are all around 0.11 acres each, whilst Plot 5 extends to around 0.26 acres. Please note, subject to separate negotiation, there is further land available to the front of the plots.

Bunessan is the largest village on the Ross of Mull and lies approximately 29 miles south of Craignure. Facilities include a well-stocked grocer's shop (including Post Office services), gift shop, hotel, primary school, church, doctor's surgery and police station. Mull itself is the most accessible of all the Inner Hebridean Islands, only a two hour drive north-west of Glasgow and a 45 minute sailing from Oban with regular daily sailings also from Fishnish to Lochaline and Tobermory to Kilchoan. A popular tourist destination, the island is wonderfully diverse, with towering sea cliffs, white sandy beaches and a large mountain range with the peak of Ben More rising to over 3,000 feet. The island is also considered to be one of best locations in Britain for wildlife spotting, with frequent sightings of dolphins, otters, eagles and red deer.

Planning Permission

Planning Permission in principle was granted on 17th November 2022 (Ref: 22/01505/PPP) for the erection of a detached dwellinghouse, on each plot. Copies of this Planning Permission and approved plans are available on the Argyll & Bute Council website or on request with the selling agent.

Services

It will be the purchaser's responsibility to connect to the services. Electricity, water and drainage will be to the mains supply nearby the site.
